Finally got the TBS CAIPIRINHA build finished. Now if only there was decent weather ahead for a maiden.
Added a custom printed skid plate below the GoPro to help protect it a bit on landing.
Few more pics here:

Interesting design, Mark.
I wonder if a hand hold type of center skid would help with the launch and also assist in protecting those fins when landing.
It will be awhile before we have tall grass for a cushion.
What motor and lipo will you be using?

Re: TBS CAIPIRINHA
I was thinking of making a center fin/skid for it for that. May do something yet.
I normally side arm launch most of my wings, Frisbee style.
Its a 2000kv motor. Going to run on a 2S 3300. it is meant to be a somewhat tamer small FPV platform.

Re: TBS CAIPIRINHA
Is the Rx on the same wing as the Video camera? Does the signal line from the camera cause interference on the servo lines?
Is there a reason to put the video Tx far away from the video camera rather than on the wing nearest the camera? I am wondering about EMI and RFI from the camera and video Tx.
